I bought this young Asplenium from a garden centre. The fern was in an area dedicated to terrarium plants with the pot simply labelled as ‘fern mix’. I am uncertain what species or cultivar this fern is – I just know it’s an Asplenium.
As this fern grows and matures it is very likely to outgrow its terrarium, but that’s OK with me – I can enjoy this fern now and move it to a larger enclosure, or grow this fern as a houseplant at a later date.
I must confess that I am a little doubtful that my Selaginella plants that you can see in my photograph above are actually true Selaginella apoda. However, for more than three years I’ve seen exactly the same type of Selaginella on sale at various nurseries and chains of garden centres and all of the plants were labelled as Selaginella apoda – and so I may well be wrong and this maybe the correct name for this plant.

I adore Asplenium fissum! I’ve been growing these gorgeous ferns for about seven years now. I really appreciate Asplenium fissum’s miniature size and endearing character and habit; I’m always finding myself admiring this fern’s decorative appearance and elegance. Perfectly sized for terrariums, Asplenium fissum is a miniature fern that won’t grow taller than 20cm tall. I must admit that most of my plants are smaller than this – many of my Asplenium fissum ferns have grown up to around 15cm tall.
